verse 1 

 G     D    Em     G 
Tell me where our time went 
 G     D    Em     G 
And if it was time well spent 
 G     D    Em     G 
Just don't let me fall asleep 
 G     D    Em     G 
Feeling empty again 

 G     D    Em     G 
Cause I fear I might break 
 G     D    Em     G 
and I fear I can't take it 
 G     D    Em     G 
Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty 


verse 2 

 G     D    Em     G 
I can feel the pressure 
 G     D    Em     G 
It's getting closer now 
 G     D    Em     G 
We're better off without you 
 G     D    Em     G 
I can feel the pressure 
 G     D    Em     G 
It's getting closer now 
 G     D    Em     G 
We're better off without you 

 G     D    Em     G 
Cause I fear I might break 
 G     D    Em     G 
and I fear I can't take it 
 G     D    Em     G 
Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty 

 G     D    Em     G 
Cause I fear I might break 
 G     D    Em     G 
and I fear I can't take it 
 G     D    Em     G 
Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty
